For Highway Robbery.

A Pole, Rudolph Lichtblau. swore out
warrant against two other Poles,
Rudolph PrOusa and Johann Nicklet-
6, check, before Justice Barnes, charging
them with highway robbery. Constable
Ed. Stevens arrested them near NacOg-
dOcbes street, and they are now in jail
in defaull of $1,000 bond.
The two Poles are tramps, who first
visited LichIblau's house on Press
street, and he gave them food, and even
treated them TO beer. They came back
last night and called him out of his
house, and when he came out, one of
them leveled shot gun at him and Or
dered MIN 10 give them all the money
he had. He gave them a dollar, and
they left.
This is not the first instance where
petty highway robbery has lately been
committed in this city by tramps at
night though this is the first time COM
plant has been made openly before the
court. 1t should be stopped, and Justice
Barnes is pursuing the right course by
putting these fellows in jail.

THE SMELLING WORKS.
What the President of a Mexican Mine
Says Upon the Important Sub
iect


Says Upon the Important Sub
ject.
Mr. Msreelino GarzI, president of the
Sierra Mujada mines, near SaltillO, and
his { Iend. W. O''S. MalOney are at the
MPnger hotel. Mr.. Cara SAYS that the
mine has u contract TO deliver 10000
csrgss Of ore in Kansas city during the
EeXt eighteen months. each carga repre-
senting 3O0 pounds. and therefore the
entire shipment amounts to 5000. UOO
pounds, and almost equal 10 800 car
loads Of 1000 pounds each. This i'm
mense shipment passes ght through
San Antonio, and If San Antonio had her
smelling works, it would stop here, en-
rching our people ana giving employ
ment to the labOring class.
As the mining apparatus at most
OF the Mexican mines Is crude
and unable to extract all the
precious metal, this mine "a
do many Others. ship leaden bars in
large quantities TO England. These bars
contain much silver and 10 England they
have special machinery which separ-
ates all the silver from the lead, giving
large profit to the retiners. II there
were perfect smelling works here that
trade would also come to this city, for
what England can do, can be done right
here In the city. This experience is
similar TO that Of other mines. The
Butcher mines at Villadama, ship large
Quantities ofore that passes through the
ely, that would be dealt with here If
we had the facl tiles for doing the work
Other miners make the same statement.
Is IT not strange then that san Antonio
allows this valuable trade to pass BY
when little energy aud little money
she could secure il, mOnopolize il. en-
rioh her people and employ her laborers?

The New CodIfication of the Statutes.
Editor LIGHT:
Gov. Ireland recommends new codi-
ficatlOn Of The statutes of Texas, in con-
fUrmIty 10 the constitutional require
ment that they shall be cOdiHed every
ten years, and it will be generally adj
United thRi sucn measure Is quite es-
senIial. Since 1876, hundreds OF statues
have been amended, repealed, or ELL
acted. and hence arises the nece ssity for
u fresh cOdIiiCaliOn VI the statutes.
The work is important, and will be
laborious, In case IL ehall be properly
executed. lt Is something more than
merely transcribing the sIaIutes. The
statutes must be condensed, and Yet
their meaning must be preserved. They
should be tersc, IN language, but clear
in expression. Ambiguous language III
n law Is an evil Of no small magnitude;
and ambiguity OF meaning arising from
clumsily arranged words anu involved
sentence, constitutes a still greater evil.
The legislature should enact u law,
accurately defining the duties and pow
ers OF the cOditiers, and not clOthe them
with unlimited legislative power. In
nOyation in the laws of country Is
fraught with great danger.
Three commissioners or cOdifiers
should be appOiuted; but the statute
should specify the part TO Oe assigned to
each vi lneuI, aud should limit LneIr la
0OrS TO thar DrauCh. This would make
saCn one responsible for his work, and
enable him to concentrate mis- faculties
and energies upon IL.
The cUultiers should be authorized and
required to consult Dreyiiy where it can
lie done, without sacrificing olearness.
The yerbOslty vi the present code should
he pruned away.
Wherever the appellate court
has construed statute, the
cUdltiers should preserve its
language, since any material alterat Oh
wound nave the effect OF making IL neces-
sary To have lis meaning again judi
Ulally settled. Stability III the laws of
nation Is great preventive Of litigation,
one OF the worst evils that Can befall u
people.
The coditiers should be required to
Simplify the law as much as possible by
using PLAIN and terse language, the
meaning of which shall not be suscep-
IlUle OG demonstrations. VerbOsity IN
a statute Is sure to prove q hot bed Of
litigation and TO cut out abundance OF
work for the appellate courts.
IN this connection l must remark that
1t would be wise and proper In the legis-
lature TO enact u law that in all cases
where an appellate court shall construe
n statute or lay down rule Of law de-
duced from general principles aud the
weight OF authority, no subse queut court
shall have power TO render u con-
trary decision, unless the legislature
shan have changed the statute since the

GROWN PROSECUTIONS.

Elsewhere we publish a report OF
the proceedings at the Third Judi
cial Circuit Court held at Waimea,
Hawaii, before Chief Justice Judd.
1t will be seen that Hon. d. II.
Hitchcock, who was employed by
the Attorney-General to prosecute
for the Crown during the terms was
attorney for the defence in several
important cases. Whether justice
miscarried in consequence it is i'm
possible to say, but certainly the
attorney for the defence, having
knowledge of the evidence relied
upon by the Crown for conviction,
was in avery much stronger position
than he would otherwise have been.
This is an important matter, as it
concerns the administration of JUS
tice as well as the purity of the
Legislature. His Honor the Chief
Justice being now in this city might
throw some light upon the statement
of the AttorDey-General, to the
effect that His Honor had advised
him to make the unlawful arrange
ment perfected by him for conduct
ing the Crown business of the Third
Judicial Circuit.

CONSTITUTIONAL VETO.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-Perhaps it is
well that public attention to the i'm
portance of constitutional veto is
ar used in this early stage of the
development of our constitutional
law. 1t is not strange that at first
impression some persons supposed
that the intent of Article 48 of the
Constitution is that the King has a
personal and arbitrary power or pre-
rogative TO decline to approve legis-
dative bills, and to return them to
the House with his personal objec-
tions for their consideration. This
mistake, Gas think it is), may the
more readily be made by COMPARE
son with the veto power which the
United States Constitution gives to
the President. But Article rs of
the Constitution effectually disposes
of the question by declaring that
wherever by this Constitution any
act is to be done or performed by
the King or the Sovereign, it shall
unless otherwise expressed, mean
that such act shall be done and per-
formed by the Sovereign by AID
with the advice and consent of the
Cabinet" That article contains
and condenses within its compact

has the power to make treaties. :"
And so the stamp Act Of
1876 provides that the stamp
duties "shall be due and payable to

refers not 10 the Kings personal
prerogatives, (Which under the Con-
stitution are restricted, by Article
80, TO receiving and acknowledging
public Ministers, etc. but TO his
official acts, as advised by his Cabi-
net Ministers. 1t is not the Kings

are to be lald.before the Legislature.
1t is an abuse of parliamentary law
In England (and think it is here)
to mention the wishes of the Sover-
eign in debate. Even the presence
of the illustrations Prince Consort
in Parliament, early in Victora's
Reign, was considered so objection
able that an apology was practically
made by him. The constitutional
veto and objections to bill are as |
think a Ministerial veto and Minis

says Hallam in his Constitutional
History of England, "can shelter
himself behind the throne by plead
ing obedience to the orders of his
Sovereign. He is answerable for the
justice, the honesty, the ability of all
measures emanating from the Crown,
as well as for their legality, and thus
the executive administration is or
ought to be subordinate in all great
matters of policy to the superin-
tendence and virtual control of the
two houses of parliament" 3 Hal
lam: LAG.
The President of the United States
has no Ministers to represent him in
congress, and moreover he is per-
soDally liable to suits and impeach-
ment he is in every way responsible.
And yet we can readily recall the
derision with which Andrew John
sons expression of "my policy"
was received. The Government of
the United States is not monarchical
nor has it responsible Ministers, and
no comparison is correct between
presidential and monarchical veto.
We are now passing peacefully
and happily, through grand ex-
pertinent of constitutional reform.
The policy or impolicy of such bills
as the abolisbing of the office of
Governor (and for one | earnestly
dislike to see that office abolished)
is literally nothing when compared
with this vital question of consti-
tutional veto. That the Crown of
Hawai- will be well advised in this
matter, and that, on due reflection,
there will be perfect and correct
understanding upon it, | do not for
one moment doubt.
ALFRED S. HARTwELL.
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1887-12-12

The talk that the Kings in
dependent veto is an infringement
of Responsible Ministerial Govern
ment, is absurd. The Ministers
are not held responsible for
the legislative part of Government.
This is the work of the Legislature,
and with the Legislature rests the
responsibility. The Ministers are
entrusted with the work of admins
tration, and they are responsible for
the executive part of Government.
Responsible Government nowhere
and never means responsibility for
the laws of the land, but every
where and always means RESPONSE
bility for the execution of those
laws. Therefore it is nonsense to
say that because the King may veto
a Government measure, we have not
Responsible Government.
Let it not be supposed because we
hold that the Constitution gives the
King the right of Independent veto,
that herein the Hawaiian Monarch
is on the same footing as all other
Constitutional Monarchs, and that
the independent exercise of the veto
does not infringe upon or detract
from the responsibility of Ministerial
Government, that therefore the King
is wise in vetoing any bill of which
he may not approve. On the con-
trary, we hold that it is a power
which, if called into operation at all
without Ministerial concurrence,
should be exercised with great eau
ton and only in extreme cases, such
as intimated in Mr.. Marques COM
munication.
